When life just starts to get good...

Just thought I would give you an update to our situation.

After spending Monday just getting my head around the whole ordeal, I phoned up my local Council Housing department on Tuesday.
She basically said, the landlord needs to give me a formal leaving date which can not be any less than 2 months from the date he 1st told us.
I then told her which area we required and she basically told me there is a 4 year waiting list for that area.

I decided that council housing was not going to be any help to us and left it at that.

About an hour later, I received a text from a friend telling me he had seen an ad in a shop window and gave me the number.
I spoke to the woman and after arranging a time, went to see her property.

It's in an even better location than the current house, it's even bigger, it's got a driveway and a garage, bigger gardens AND it's actually a nicer house (although it's just been decorated and it's not to my taste)
Ok, it's a bit more than what we were paying before, but we can afford it. We told the landlord exactly what has gone on and she has basically said, if you can get the bond, it's yours and you don't have to worry about moving out, you can live here as long as you like.

When I got back home, I phoned our current landlord and told him about it and he has offered to pay our bond for us as well as the money for the remainder of this month.

Sorted!

I just HATE BLOODY MOVING lol

Nice one chiller, glad it's all working out for you. I feel your pain on moving, it's my biggest hate. Done it twice and swear I won't be doing it again!

[WhamBamSam]

Magnificent! So pleased for you. All's well that ends well.

Oh I forgot to mention the best / funny part...

The new landlord works for Skycigs as a rep lol!

I found out because she asked us if we smoked and we told her we use eCigs.

It's just a shame I left my vamo at home, I could have shown her what a real eCig is lol

So pleased to hear you've got sorted

[mybad]

as for you moving all your stuff again just get a man with big van to move you out, can even work out cheaper than doing it yourself.

[ChillerVapes]

Well, just give the landlord the bond and got the keys

The van is not a problem, I have use of a work van all the time, I will just have to swap my VIVARO for a MOVANO for the weekend.
Anyone else think they sound like the words that Vic used to say on Shooting Stars? lol
